Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Parts 112 and 113: Marcus' Second Fortune and Freeing the Rusalka

In Which Our Hero learns more about his future and defeats Janos' wraith, frees the Rusalka, gets a little action for his troubles and meets the OTHER girl he likes. What a night!







This update contains one of the most memorable scenes in any Quest for Glory game, and it's only available to the Paladin: freeing the Rusalka.

But first, Marcus starts at the gyspy camp, where Magda tells his fortune. This one is about the man from the original fortune: someone who was once powerful, but is now an angry thrall to a Master. A powerful magic user. I wonder who that could be.

After the reading, Marcus fights a couple of monsters and waits for darkness to fall, which isn't long. Then he heads to the graveyard, combines the Rusalka's hair with the hand broom and sweeps Janos' grave with it. Janos isn't too happy at being disturbed, and it's a bitter fight but Marcus prevails. Barely.

Now it's off to the lake, where Marcus must perform one last task to free Elyssa: give her what she desires, which is a kiss. It's a touching scene. He kisses her, and she disappears, free at last.

Back to town where Marcus meets the other woman in his life. Katrina's waiting for him outside the gates. She flirts a little and tells him very little actual information, except that she lives in the castle and shes afraid of her parents finding out about her and Marcus. Which is where we leave off for next time.

Quest For Glory Epic Let's Play Parts 108 and 109: Saving Elyssa and The Mad Monk's Tomb

In Which Our Hero begins the process to save the Rusalka and deftly avoids Error 52.







Okie dokie. Picking up outside of Baba Yaga's hut, Marcus thinks about what he needs for the pie. Flour for the crust. Where can he get that? Right, the giant mortar and pestle that Babs uses to fly. Well, it just so happens that you can also use a mortar and pestle to grind things like bones. Bones make a fine flour for pie crust.

He's got none of the other ingredients though so it's off to do more damage around Mordavia. First stop: the Leshy. Marcus gets the last riddles out of the way, and the next time he visits the Leshy he'll actually be able to resolve that subplot. Yeah.

Then it's back to the lake to see the Rusalka. She's not quite sure why Piotyr wants her saved, but hey, an evil lake spirit isn't likely to understand the reasoning of a Paladin ghost. But she seems game. So it's off to the cemetery to discover her real name: Elyssa. And her old boyfriend was Janos. He's a bit of a douchebag. We'll meet him later.

Marcus runs back to tell her her real name, and she says that indeed Janos was a real douchebag. Marcus wasn't around to white knight then but he sure is now, and Elyssa needs a white knight. She even gives Marcus a piece of her hair so he can complete the ritual he learned from the gyspies.

Which he'll do after dark, and while he's down in this neck of the woods he might as well head into the swamp after one of the last rituals. A while later, slogging through mud and dead people, he reaches the Mad Monk's tomb and sees two Chernovy wizards guarding it. They are some ugly motherfuckers. A little Marcus magic later and they're sucking swamp and he's taking the ritual and going home.

Until he dies.

Well, fuck.
